One thing I have found that has made it much easier for me, is to not use the
"screen format - data" ISPF support nor the "alternate primary size" that
Ed worked so hard to get implemented (BINPSZRC). I use "screen size - max"
all the time so I always see the "small" size instead of it getting "big"
as I swap between ISPF panels. Yes, there is that "white space" / brackets
(whatever) at the sides of the viewable data for those panels and the wrapping
issue with ISPF option 6 (which I rarely use), but overall I like it *much*
better as do the people I've converted to using the large screen sizes.
Yes, "bouncing" screen sizes are awkward and distracting. Sometimes rows
you could see in one mode disappear in the other. That's the reason I
keep the rows constant between primary/alternate screen sizes and use
"Screen format 1. Data" under ISPF. If I find myself using an emulator
or environment that supports only a 24x80 primary size, then I always
use "Screen format 3. Max" under ISPF as you have suggested. That
setting uses the alternate screen size only.
I've found 90x80 ideal for editing JCL, assembler language source code
and/or displaying any other screen with traditional 80-byte card
ancestry. The input fields wrap as you would expect them to, for example
on the TSOCMD panel. But, I agree it's more difficult to establish and
maintain this kind of configuration. FWIW, here is the logmode I use for
PCOMM.
